As the band strides easily through their Spring tour, what awakens here (and the following night) must be another exodus. Sweet jamming by-the-plenty,
...
attic tunes, by the heart strings are known. Surely, these songs are the best iterations of what I’ve heard so far be played this far through 1973. No-contest being drawn for 1972. Since any given month from that aforementioned year has evidence of their Bodhisattvan guidance. So, take that for what you may. Paradise begins at the end of Your ears. I am comfortably seated, listening to RFK73 on a Wednesday somewhere within my 27th year. A strong pull comes to sift my attention in every-which-way. I don’t mind. Given the opportunity to have my previous gourd rocked beyond belief another day by the Dead. I can’t speak to the music anymore, or at all, since each song, and passing chord is another completely different tune. The unanimous form of the WALL OF SOUND towers among men and can’t be received by the shallow comments of tuning arrangements and sly candids about their lyrical progression. Each show is like this, you see. Some more prone than others to people’s own dependence. You may agree, or not it -- doesn’t matter much to me. Be happy that you’ve found something worth spending your time listening to — in the moment, that’s why we’re all Here. Can you argue so much with Fate?
Peace ~ Nick.
(For what it’s worth, the Eyes played here might be the best this far into 1973)

While I agree that the following night is a somewhat even better show, this baby is no slouch by any stretch. I was there, my 2nd show, a freshman in college
...
out for a special time in D.C. And OMG how special it was! The Allman Bros. were great! And this was the show when Phil wore an "Eat A Peach" T-shirt, the artwork from the album cover. I'm so glad I brought a camera, got some great shots from this show, still have the prints. Snapped one of Phil, Jerry, Donna, and Bob all singing the chorus at the end of He's Gone...printed an 8x10 of that one! Thought of Pigpen of course, during that song. He was there for my first show.
If you like to listen to shows that are almost mellow and laid back, check this one out. Especially true with a lot of the vocals. Not on Sugaree though! This one is a favorite, and not because I was there. Garcia's singing is much more innovative with the melodies than usual.
I wish I could remember when the break was, because there's a conflict between the recording and Deadbase. Phil is clearly heard saying they're going to take a break right after Tenn Jed. But Deadbase puts the break between IKYou Rider and He's Gone. I'll go with Phil.
Another reviewer below thought that the Wall Of Sound was used at these 2 shows. This is mistaken- the Wall debuted at the Cow Palace (SF) on 3-23-74.
The sonics were fabulous for an outdoor concert though, nothing to quibble about there.
China Doll made a deep impression on us, as most of us had never heard it before. This was considerably before the Mars Hotel was released, and since I couldn't follow the band around on tour, the studio LPs meant a lot.
All in all, an excellent show, IMHO.

Man, I must just be in an emotional mood! That was maybe my 10th show! My Bud who passed, Jimmy De Fato, RIP had a pretty New Convertible like 1971
...
Barracuda and 4 of us went with NO TICKETS! We got a room in the Executive Suites Motel! Some DIVE but who Cared! 2 Days of THE DEAD and The Allman Bros.......WOW! I don't even remember how we got tickets but we went with nothing! Anyway, 2 Days of HEAVEN and HOT Weather and GREAT Music....What More can one ask for. It is so Nice to hear again because after so long and as HIGH as we were, my memory is good but short. I was certainly in no shape to write down a set-list!! One of the BEST Weekends of my Life! I Hitchhiked to San Francisco in the Summer of '74 and that is where I still reside! Winterland Every Night...The Works and ALL of the News Years Shows! Anyway, Peace Out!!

We were at this show, both Sat/Sun and it had to be one of the most far out shows that we ever attended. It actually started Friday night out in the parkling
...
lot with the sound system check. Had to be one of the highest I've ever been. The Dead, Allman Bros and Gentle Giant. It was so hot, and the sound was so sweet. At one point on Sunday after all the food and drink had run out, some dude was calling out that he was making a run to get some. Everyone was throwing money at him and I bet he had at least 3 or 4 grand when he left. Well after a couple of hours htis rental truck back in and the he was with a truck full of stuff. This Sat. show lasted until 2 or 3 in the morning. Same with the Sunday show. Missed work on monday and got fired well worth it. A lot of Mushrooms and great tunes. I miss the Dead

It was the first road trip for 4 Jersey City dead heads. Roosevelt Stadium was a home field, then Nassau Coliseum, 1st show after Pigpen, but a bus trip
...
to DC was a major " lost weekend" and it didn't disappoint. Got to the stadium about 5:00 am.... Not havin a tent or a car to hang in, we met some great people who were very willing to share the herb. The DC locals weren't real pleased to see all the Hippies...... And the wilding was very prevalent.... Sun started to rise and you knew it was gunna be a hot one. That added to the mental electric energy, " mescaline" LOL . Honestly ..... don't remember a lot of the show cept Jerry had pigtails...... and " Hot as a pistol but cool inside" crowd went nutz I think it was 115 degrees. and someone had a hose from stage in spray mode what a treat that was ! We were so spent we didn't even pay much attention to the ABB and didn't stay for their whole set. we saw what we came for ! GREAT MEMORY

Definetely, not the best show of the era, but it deserves at least four stars/ First set is nothing special, but second deserve some attention. "Truckin'"

is very nice, during transition to "Playing" you can hear intro theme from "Here Comes Sunshine". Also highlightes are: wonderful jamming in "Playing" including great transition to last chorus, and perfect "Eyes". Phil is doing great job there

Subject: One of the most awesome days of my life!
This show (June 9, 1973) was by far the most "out there" Grateful Dead show. I was there. This was my second (out of about 30) Dead concerts (my first
...
was Baltimore Civic Center (9-72). This recording proves that listening to the Dead depends totally on your state of mind and mood. The first few times I heard it, I thought the sound quality sucked (was flat), then ... driving to the beach (about 3 hours) I listened to it with the background noise of wind through the windows (which in a strange way minimized the sound quality blemishes), and I was on a flashback to the state of mind while I was there that day in 1973. Garcia and Lesh are absolutely in a parallel universe (and universes parallel to each other as well) during the breaks on certain songs (They Love Each Other/Loose Lucy). These are songs I generally don't prefer. But it just proves that the Dead can inject a mindblast into the break of any songs they play (favorites or not). What is amazing about the Dead is after 30 years of listening to them, I have never tired of their music, and am always hearing something new I haven't heard in live performances that I have listened to a hundred times or more. As I said, Ithe music changes with your state of mind.

quality alone, and I recommend you do the same before it's unavailable too. One can't be too careful. Great SBD for this era. It's all there.
